{5}Narodnoye Pravo(People’s Right)—an illegal party of Russian
democratic-minded intellectuals, founded in the summer of 1893 with the
participation of former members of the Narodnaya Volya, 0. V. Aptekman,
A. I. Bogdanovich, A. V. Gedeonovsky, M. A. Natanson, N. S. Tyutchev and
others. Members of the Narodnoye Pravo Party set themselves the task of
uniting all opposition forces to fight for political reform. The party put
out two programme documents: “Manifesto” and “Vital Question”. In the
spring of 1894 it was broken up by the tsarist government. Lenin gave an
assessment of the Narodnoye Pravo Party as a political organisation in hisWhat the “Friends of the People” Are and How They Fight the
Social-DemocratsandThe Tasks of the Russian
Social-Democrats(see present edition, Vol. 1, pp. 129–332 and Vol. 2, pp. 323–51).

Most of the members of the Narodnoye Pravo Party subsequently joined the
Socialist-Revolutionaries.
